4. Kevin can clean a large aquarium tank in about 9 hours. When Kevin and Lara
work together, they can clean the tank in 6 hours. Write a rational equation that
could be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank if she
works by herself. You do not have to solve the equation. You may solve the
equation for extra credit.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

The rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank alone is; 6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

It would take Lara 18 hours to clean the tank if she works by herself

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The time it takes Kevin to clean an aquarium tank alone = 9 hours

The time it takes Kevin and Lara to clean the tank together = 6 hours

Let '1/x' represent Lara's cleaning rate, we have;

The time it would take Lara to clean 1 tank alone = 1/(1/x) = x

Kevin's cleaning rate, y = 1/9 tank per hour

The number of tanks, z =  tank

The total time it takes both of them to clean the tank, t = 6 hours

Therefore, we get;

t × y + t × 1/x = z

When t = 6, y = 1/9, and z = 1, we get;

6 × (1/9) + 6·(1/x) = 1

Therefore, the rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank if she work by herself, '1/x', is given as follows;

6/9 + 6·(1/x) = 1

6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

Solving the rational equation gives;

1/x = (1 - 6/9)/6 = 1/18

∴ 1/x = 1/18)

∴ x = 18

The time it would take Lara to clean the tank if she worked by herself, x = 18 hours

Find the area using sine rules.

Answers

Answer:

22.44 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the missing angle:

m∠H = 180° - (47° + 99°) = 34°

Step 2

Find the missing sides by using the law of sines:

sin 34° / 5.9 = sin 47° / HP = sin 99° / HKHP = 5.9 sin 47°/sin 34° = 7.7 miHK = 5.9 sin 99° / sin 34° = 10.4 mi

Step 3

Use Heron's formula for the area:

A = [tex]\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}[/tex], where s is semi-perimeter, and a, b, c - sides

Find s:

s = 1/2(5.9 + 7.7 + 10.4) = 12

Find A:

A = [tex]\sqrt{12(12 - 5.9)(12 - 7.7)( 12 - 10.4)}[/tex] = 22.44 mi²

Zair has 48 marbles in his pocket. He has 3 more blues than the
yellow ones, and 4 times as many yellows as the red ones. How
many of each colored marble is there?

Answers

Answer:

# yellow = 20

# blue = 23

# red = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'r' = # red marbles

let '4r' = # yellow marbles

let '3+4r' = # blue marbles

r + 4r + 3 + 4r = 48

9r + 3 = 48

9r = 45

r = 5

red = 5

yellow = 4(5) = 20

blue = 3+4(5) = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

What is expression in mathematics?

An expression in mathematics is a combination of terms both constants and variables.

Given is that every time Vince orders Chinese food, he gets egg drop soup. So, he decides to learn how to make it himself. His recipe calls for 1.5 liters of broth, but he can only find 500 milliliter cartons at the store.

We know that -

1 Liter = 1000 milliliters

1.5 liter = 1500 liters

Now -

1 carton 500 ml.

Then, 1 ml will be in (1/500) carton.

So, 1500 ml will be in (1/500 x 1500) = 3 cartons

Therefore, Vince will have to buy three cartons of 500 ml each.

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems rely on your knowledge of the side ratios of special triangles

  45°-45°-90° triangle: 1 : 1 : √2

  30°-60°-90° triangle: 1 : √3 : 2

__

17) 5 is the short side of the isosceles right triangle, so its hypotenuse is 5√2. That length is the shortest side of the 30/60/90 triangle, so its longest side is 2 times that:

  x = 10√2

__

18) 8 is the longest side of the 30/60/90 triangle, so its long leg will be 8(√3)/2 = 4√3. The hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle is √2 times that, so ...

Average = 50

5 = 20+20+20+30+80+80+80+x/8

x is the score of the 8th student

Harpo, Groucho, Chico, Zeppo, Gummo, Karl, and Skid have won three tickets to the opera. They will randomly choose three people from their group to attend the opera. How many outcomes are possible?

Answers

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem therefore we need to use the combination formula using factorials, plug in the values for n and r which would be 7 since there are 7 individuals in the group and 3 because we are making outcomes of 3.

C(n,r)=C(7,3)

=7!(3!(7−3)!)

=7!3!×4!

= 35

Finally, we can see that the total number of possible outcomes is 35

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) 5.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply determine the difference between the angles of the vectors:

  arctan(8/-5) -arctan(8/-4) = 122.005° -116.565° = 5.440°

The angle between the vectors is about 5.4°.

__

Alternate solutions

1) We could also determine the angle of their ratio.

  u/v = (-5 +8i)/(-4 +8i) = (-5 +8i)(-4 -8i)/(4² +8²) = (84 +8i)/80 = 1.05 +0.1i

  angle = arctan(0.1/1.05) = 5.440°

__

2) Tan(a-b) = (tan(a)+tan(b))/(1 -tan(a)(tan(b))

  tan(∠u -∠v) = ((tan(∠u) -tan(∠v))/(1 +tan(∠u)tan(∠v))

  = (-1.6 -(-2))/(1 +(-1.6)(-2)) = 0.4/4.2

  ∠u -∠v = arctan(2/21) = 5.440°

−|−37| = 37 true or false

Answers

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of |−37| is 37

however, since the negative sign is in front of the absolute value,

−|−37| = -37

Therefore,

−|−37| does not equal 37

The given statement −|−37| = 37 is false.

Given that, −|−37| = 37.

We need to whether the given statement is true or false.

What is an absolute value?

The absolute value of a variable x is represented by |x| which is pronounced as 'Mod x' or 'Modulus of x'. 'Modulus' is a Latin word, which means 'measure'. Absolute value is commonly referred to as numeric value or magnitude. The absolute value represents only the numeric value and does not include the sign of the numeric value. The modulus of any vector quantity is always taken as positive and is its absolute value.

Now, |−37|=37

So, -|−37|=-37

Therefore, the given statement is false.
